Columbia University Press (Verlag)
978-0-231-19606-2 (ISBN)
This book is an in-depth guide to narrative therapy for students and practitioners in health care, social work, gerontology, and counseling, showing readers how to develop a culturally sensitive practice framework with older adults. It presents a step-by-step manual on the therapeutic use of narrative, describing the theories, methods, skills, and techniques of transformative narrative practice with older people in individual, family, group, and collective settings. Drawing on extensive clinical practice with older adults in Hong Kong and New York City, the authors explore narrative methods in divergent cultural contexts to advance a globally minded approach. Bringing narrative therapy to gerontological practice in culturally sensitive ways, this book foregrounds alternative models of aging that celebrate a life worth living.
